:12:01
How you gonna do that?
We don't have bathrooms in the army.

:12:04
- They had them in Fort Dix.
- Not bathrooms.

:12:07
Yes, they did. I went in them a lot.
:12:09
I'm tellin' you, we don't have
any bathrooms on this base.

:12:12
- You doubt my veracity?
- No, Sergeant.

:12:15
- Then you got a problem, haven't you?
- Ho, ho.

:12:18
You bet your ass, ho, ho.
:12:19
- You know why you got a problem?
- Cos I have to go real bad.

:12:23
No, son, you got a problem
because you don't know army terminology.

:12:26
The place where a US soldier
goes to defecate, relieve himself,...

:12:30
..open his bowels, shit, fart, dump,
crap and unload is called a latrine.

:12:35
Latrine. From the French.
:12:39
Wanna tell us
what's funny about that, Jerome?

:12:42
It's just that you said all those words
in one sentence, Sergeant.

:12:45
Apparently, you don't understand
the benefit of discipline. Do you, Jerome?

:12:50
The benefit? Yes, I think I do.
:12:52
Then tell it to me, Jerome.
What is the benefit of discipline?

:12:55
Well, it's to benefit the army's, uh,...
:12:59
..to the way that soldiers...
to... whatever you say, Sergeant.

:13:04
- Lookin' to get your ass in a sling?
- No, Sergeant. It's fine the way it is.

:13:08
The benefit of discipline
is that it will win this war for us.

:13:11
Therefore, until you learn that fact,
I'll just have to keep teachin' it to you.

:13:16
- Selridge, 100 push-ups. Hit the deck.
- Me? I didn't say nothing.

:13:20
Correct. We're doin' this
to teach Jerome about discipline.

:13:23
On your face, soldier!
:13:25
You think you get
my meaning now about discipline?

:13:28
- Oh, yes, ho!
- Then let's try it out.

:13:31
I want another man to give me
100 push-ups. I want you to pick him.

:13:34
Who will it be, boy?
:13:37
Speak up, Jerome. Tell me the name of the
man you think's most lacking in discipline.

:13:43
Well, we just met on the train, Sergeant.
I don't even know all their names yet.

:13:48
I understand your reticence to speak. No
one's gonna like hearin' his name called.

:13:52
Why don't you just whisper it in my ear?
:13:56
Wykowski?
He's the biggest man in the company.

:13:59
That took guts, Jerome, but if that's
your wish, your wish will be obeyed.
